How it Works

Defacement protection is a set of tools that monitors your web location for changes on web location. If a defacement is detected, the customer that is enrolled within defacement protection can choose how he or she would like to respond to the incident. They can choose to actively remove the offending landing page(s) and place an "under construction" page or, they can actively alert Network Defense Solutions as well as their own administrator of the incident for remediation.

Benefits

Coupled with Remote Off-Site Backups and, File System Monitoring detection of a defacement can help save your organization anywhere from tens of thousands of dollars to potentially a few hundred thousand dollars (depending on size, web complexity, etc.). Remediation of a defacement in a timely fashion can help limit costs of the attack, and potentially the amount of impact it may have to your customer data.

Most reported defacements are normally reported via customers. If that's not embarrassing enough it could take a few hours before a defacement is detected, cleaned up and an IR request put in place. With additional tools and services that Network Defense Solutions provides such as our Web Log Analyzer if a defacement is detected all relevant information regarding the breach / defacement is kept intact and ready to be analyzed off-line in a safe environment.

On the more impactful side of things, if customers see a web location has been defaced, they are more likely to not return due to security concerns furthering financial loss! It has been shown that during the corona virus lock down web defacements had risen. Motivating factors can be political hacktivism, vandalism, or a means to spread a message.
